Full Job Description

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI — the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a “learning machine” that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to resolve, that only we can seek, and that matter to the world. This is our life’s work, to amplify human inventiveness and intelligence. NVIDIA’s High-Speed Interconnect (HSIC) team is seeking a versatile engineer to be part of a Silicon Hardware team. You will dive into next-gen high speed interconnects like NVLink and NVLink-C2C to make advancements in efficiency and stability. This position offers the opportunity to have real impact in a dynamic, technology-focused company impacting product lines ranging from artificial intelligence, consumer graphics, self-driving cars, and more. **What you’ll be doing:** * Contribute to design of next generation of high-speed IOs, including NVLink and NVLink-C2C. * Responsible for IO power optimizations and continuing to push energy efficiency. * Ensure interoperability with connected devices and system components in complex interconnect topologies * Deep dive into technically challenging HSIO bugs and help drive debug efforts across various teams * Work closely with other engineering teams such as system architects, mixed signal and design, DGX, software/firmware, HW/SW QA, operations and AE teams to drive design, development, debug and release of next generations products. * This will require that the person be on site in Santa Clara, CA, 2 to 3 days a week. **What we need to see:** * BS or MS degree in EE/CE or equivalent experience * Effective in a collaborative environment. * 8+ years working in HSIO development, bringup planning, HSIO functional and electrical validation, and/or power optimization * Working experience in a few of the
